SAFE HANDLING
•
Pour water from the kettle jug
4
slowly to prevent splashing
and scalding with the hot water.
•
Fill the water from the top to help free the filter from limescale
build-up. There should always be a minimum amount of water in
the kettle jug
4
before you switch it on (
MIN
mark on the water
level indicator
).
•
To save time and electricity, only boil the necessary amount of water.
SWITCHING ON
•
Place the kettle jug
4
on the base unit
8
. Make sure that the
kettle jug
4
is secure on the 360˚connector.
•
Plug the mains cable of the base unit
8
into a power socket
before switching the power on.
•
Switch the kettle
ON
. The ON/OFF switch

the kettle will start heating the water.
SWITCHING OFF
•
Once the water is boiled the kettle will automatically switch off.
•
Lift the kettle jug
